It seems like an arcane process to me TBH.

Answer 1

same way you get any high level position. Go to college, get a degree (law for a judge), pass any certification exams needed (bar) then get an entry level position in a relevant field (lawyer). after years of hard work, then apply for the position you really do want (or in this case, run for/be appointed to it).
